I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of pizza, and find conventional take-away pizzerias to be pretty oily and tasteless, so I’ve decided to sort out the best from the rest and have compiled a list of the top 5 pizza restaurants serving the best Summer Pizzas!
La Svolta
If Melbourne and Italy had a restaurant baby, La Svolta would be it. Winning Melbourne’s ‘Best Pizzeria’ in this year’s Melbourne Pizza Festival, it encompasses everything a modern Melbourne/Italian restaurant should be. A mixture of culture, art and sophistication, and of course, delicious pizza.
Best Summer Pizza? The Pizza Verde; rocket, pesto, mozzarella, gorgonzola & prosciutto.
Location: 3-5 Cecil Place, Prahran
and 450 Hampton Street, Hampton

Lucky Coq

Best Summer Pizza? Mixed Berry Pizza, with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and mascarpone. Don’t have a sweet tooth? Poncho Pizza, with corn chips, tomato, beans, jalapenos, sour cream, spring onions, Spanish onion and mozzarella.
Located: Corner of Chapel St & High St, Windsor

Mr Natural Vegetarian Pizza
Being a big hit with vegans and vegetarians, Mr Natural Vegetarian Pizza, is loaded with flavour. They really think outside the (pizza) box when it comes to toppings. They’re completely vegan and vegetarian (including soy cheese and animal rennet free cheese), so it’s guilt free and absolutely delicious!
Best Summer Pizza? Hawaiian, sultanas, corn, pineapple, capsicum, and shredded coconut (cheese optional).
